Xie Yuxiu has been feeling uneasy ever since Yu Jinzhi left the party.
until……
"Oh no!" A sharp voice rang out, and everyone looked over with a frown.
Just as Wang Yi was about to scold, he discovered that the person coming was actually the maidservant beside Princess Ning'an.
Xie Yuxiu's grip on the cup tightened, and he stared at the maid running towards him. It seemed that if the maid said anything bad, he would punish her immediately.
"What's the matter with the panic?" The envoy of Li State couldn't help but ask.
The maid looked panicked, and even her voice was filled with tears: "It's the princess, the princess... The courtyard where the princess changes her clothes is on fire."
what?
"What's going on?!" Xie Yuxiu also became more serious.
The guards came running outside: "Your Majesty, there's a fire in Xianglin Palace!"
How could a fire suddenly break out out of nowhere? Xie Yuxiu thought of Yu Jinzhi. Zhizhi had just followed him. Would there be any accidents?
He was still worried, so he didn't even bother to take care of the scene and ran straight to Xianglin Palace.
When he arrived at the scene, the fire had already spread. The envoys from the Kingdom of Li also felt as if the sky had fallen when they saw this scene.
"Where is the princess? Where is the princess?" The envoy of Li State looked anxious.
"The princess is still inside." The maid was obviously frightened. No one expected something like this to happen.
Xie Yuxiu also had an ugly expression on his face: "Where is Zhizhi?" He lowered his voice, but one could hear the anger hidden in it.
"Your Majesty, the princess..." Before Wang Yi could finish his words, Yu Jinzhi's voice sounded behind him.
"Why did the fire suddenly break out?" Yu Jinzhi rushed over with a frown, a look of disbelief on her face.
Xie Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him standing in front of him safely, but he was wondering in his heart whether this scene was related to Yu Jinzhi.
She... couldn't possibly do such a thing, but if it wasn't her, who else could it be?
"Your Majesty...it seems to be Concubine Jia and the third prince of Li." Wang Yi suddenly spoke.
After hearing his words, everyone looked to the side. As a result, they saw the shirtless Third Prince and the disheveled Concubine Jia rushing out from another burning house.
Xie Yuxiu's face was gloomy, but Yu Jinzhi was not surprised at all.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Jia did not expect there to be so many people outside. She panicked for a moment and knelt directly at Xie Yuxiu's feet.
The third prince hadn't drunk too much just now, but now he looked like he was really drunk.
"What are you still standing there for? Put out the fire first!" Xie Yuxiu was already getting a little impatient at this point.
He didn't even want to pay attention to the person kneeling at his feet. Wang Yi was also a smart person and directly sent someone to pull Concubine Jia away.
"Your Highness!" The people of Li Kingdom were also heading towards the position of the third prince of Li Kingdom.
The fire was quite big and could not be put out in a short time. But thinking that Princess Ning An was still inside, this matter would not be resolved.
"Your Majesty, if anything happens to our Princess Ning'an, you must give us an explanation!" The envoy of the State of Li could no longer sit still.
If something happened to a foreign princess in their palace, they would naturally be responsible.
Xie Yuxiu knew this, so he stood here and did not leave until the fire was put out.
After the fire was finally put out, the palace servants rushed in to look for people. But the courtyard was burned down, if there were people inside, how could it be intact now?
"Your Majesty... there is no one inside, but several bodies were found..." When the palace servant came out to report, his voice was trembling.
A foreign princess died in the palace. How would they explain it?
Dead? Xie Yuxiu hadn’t expected that to happen. Even Yu Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, looking as if she had no idea at all.
"What? Princess!" The envoy of Li State felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
Soon, several charred corpses were carried out, and their identities could be vaguely seen. One of them was probably wearing a dancing costume, and the others were wearing palace maids' clothes, so their identities were obvious.
"Why did a fire suddenly break out out of nowhere?" Yu Jinzhi asked first.
Her gaze scanned the faces of the people on the battlefield, and finally landed on Concubine Jia: "Why is Concubine Jia suddenly here? And with..." Her gaze turned to the third prince of the Li Kingdom, and the meaning was obvious.
Concubine Jia crawled forward on her knees: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. I was just passing by, but the Third Prince suddenly pulled me into the house, and then... and then forced me! Your Majesty!"
Concubine Jia cried with tears and snot, as if she had really suffered some great injustice.
The Third Prince was drunk, but after hearing this, he still propped himself up and pointed at Concubine Jia: "It was obviously you. You seduced me..."
"Your Majesty, look, the Third Prince is obviously drunk. He...he took advantage of his drunkenness to do such a dirty thing!" Concubine Jia looks so pitiful that anyone can feel distressed. She is quite good at pretending.
Although Xie Yuxiu didn't know what was going on, Yu Jinzhi had just taken the initiative to ask, so it was natural for him to follow suit and ask.
"Passing by? You just happened to come here?" Xie Yuxiu asked.
"I... I really just happened to come here, Your Majesty, you must believe me. I just felt too stuffy and had drunk some wine, so I wanted to come out for some fresh air. Then the palace maid said there was an empty bedroom here, so I came here." Concubine Jia was still defending herself.
"Bitch, it was obviously you who seduced me here, but now you are turning the tables on me. You can slander me as you please!" The third prince didn't know whether he was drunk or really angry, and he wanted to pounce on her.
But during this movement, something seemed to fall from his arms. It was a handkerchief, and... it was exactly the same as the one that Concubine Jia was wearing.
"Why is Concubine Jia's handkerchief on the third prince?" Yu Jinzhi quickly picked up the handkerchief.
Concubine Jia was stunned, and then her face became flustered.
"Your Majesty...it's not like that, Your Majesty..." Concubine Jia was still preparing to explain.
The third prince continued, "Didn't you give this to me last night? What? Don't you remember? I haven't forgotten how you looked in my arms yesterday..."
The Third Prince was intoxicated as he spoke, and it seemed as if he was speaking the truth after drinking. After all, who can control what they say when they are drunk?
